Yamaha XS description

I have owned this bike for over 30 years (the mileage is original) and recently completed this mild Cafe project. Very strong

stock engine, runs great. Fresh oil change (Amzoil) and replacable filter, part of the custom oil cooler, and fork oil.

New:  tires, shocks, 4 gal. tank, set-backs, halogen headlight conversion, fork brace, bar-end mirrors.

Cafe seat professionally upholstered on stock XS seat pan (so it flips up like stock).

Awesome front twin disc brake system with SS brake lines and correct master cylinder for the set-up.

Includes all original take-off parts including the excellent original seat and tank.

This is not a restoration, but is a really nice 35 year old bike, with no issues, that shows the appropriate patina (a bike to be proud of).

Clear title in my name. No warranty given or implied. Transport is the buyers responsibility.

Non-refundable $500 deposit required at the auction end (contact me for deposit payment and balance payment).

Bike is being listed locally & may be removed from auction listing if sold prior to auction end.

Thanks for your interest.

NO IT'S NOT an illusion: you're looking at the 1981 Yamaha OW53, ridden by double World Champion Barry Sheene in the first three rounds of the '81 500GP championship. The bike's owner, aircraft engineering entrepreneur Chris Wilson, has lent the £100,000 GP machine to Visordown for our stand at this year's NEC Motorcycle Show - 27th November to 6th December 2009. Sheene raced the bike in the 1981 championship, where he finished fourth at Salzburgring, sixth at Hockenheim and third at Monza.

AMA Pro Racing Announces Basic Twins Flat Track Class for 2014 Season

Fri, 12 Apr 2013

AMA Pro Racing announced a new class for Flat Track racing designed to provide a new stepping stone for up-and-coming Pro-licensed racers, replacing the Pro Singles class in 2014. The new class, to be called Basic Twins, is more or less a revival of the Basic Expert Twins division that ran during the 2007 and 2008 seasons, but dropped when the Pro Singles class was introduced for 2009. The new class will give young racers a chance to showcase their skills on Twins, easing their transition to eventually enter the Grand National Expert Twins class.
